Mixed differences in patient-reported outcomes were seen for patients after total knee arthroplasty performed with robotics vs. without robotics, according to published results.

Positive differences in patient-reported outcomes were seen for patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty with robotics vs. without robotics, a presenter said at the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons Annual Meeting.

Hip arthroscopy has recently become a common procedure to treat central and peripheral hip pathology including femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears. Capsulotomy is inherent in these procedures, and negotiating adequate visualization in conjunction with capsular preservation is a challenge. A capsular suspension technique eliminates the need for additional personnel for retracting, prevents iatrogenic injury to the capsule, eliminates the need for excessive capsular debridement and allows for capsular closure under minimal tension.
